Lunch Box 477:
These are the beans that never end

Long
beans sure are long. If I hadn't cut them in half they
would have gone all the way around the box! And
if you thought those long-long noodles were difficult
to eat without getting sloppy, well...

Anyway! Today I have Spam musubi
made with some more pink beet rice. Pink Spam, pink
rice - it's like an edible Valentine's Day. And I have
pork & shrimp dumplings alternating with simmered shiitake mushrooms, because
I thought that the sauce I simmered the mushrooms in
would add a nice flavor to the dumplings. I have the
aforementioned steamed
long beans, whose unwieldiness is more than balanced by their neatoness.
Finally, I have a half moon rice cake, and if that bean
thinks it can sneak a bite, it has another think coming.
